04:40:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:40:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
04:40:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:40:57 User actions detected.
04:40:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:40:57 Dome is MaxDome
04:40:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
04:40:57 Imager is QSI Universal
04:40:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:40:57 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210117@043725 UTC
04:40:57 Imager readout modes:
04:40:57   0 is Image Quality
04:40:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:40:57 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:40:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:40:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:41:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
04:41:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
04:41:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:41:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
